Sure.
BTW, looking again at my Mathematica session, there's still a small glitch. I told Mathematica that [$]y_1 < y_2[$]. But, indeed since [$]\dot{\xi} < 0[$] for this problem, actually I should have said to Mathematica that [$]y_2 < y_1[$]. That makes both the l.h.s. and r.h.s. positive for [$]t>0[$] (since [$]b(x)<0[$]). However, after making this change in the Assumptions, and rerunning: Mathematica gets the same expression for integral[y1,y2]. In other words, the answer is still the same, confirming Paul's answer.

Re: About solving a transport equation
Easy ones:
[$]u_t+u_x=0[$]
[$]u_t+\sgn(x)u_x=0[$]
[$]u_t-\sgn(x)u_x=0[$]
All to be solved for t>0 with initial data on t=0 (for all x or just bits).
[$]u_t+u_x=0[$]
[$]u_t+\sgn(x)u_x=0[$]
[$]u_t-\sgn(x)u_x=0[$]
All to be solved for t>0 with initial data on t=0 (for all x or just bits).

Re: About solving a transport equation
1... [$]u_t+u_x=0[$] .
2 ...[$]u_t+ sgn(x) u_x=0[$]
3...[$]u_t- sgn(x) u_x=0[$]
I suspect classification of characteristics. May need to do a bit of reading up.
1, unique solution
2. multiple solutions
3. non-unique solution (after a while)
Is [$]x = 0[$] a pathological case?

I would urge you to draw the pictures!

Re: About solving a transport equation
Exactly. I did. They tell a story. BTW how do I get a jpeg from my computer directly into a post?I would urge you to draw the pictures!
BTW How do we take the discussion from here in general?
TBD the outstanding questions posed by Alan.

Re: About solving a transport equation
A side step: PW in his book describes non-probabilistic model of short interest rates:
[$]\frac{\partial V}{\partial t} + c(\frac{\partial V}{\partial r})\frac{\partial V}{\partial r} - rV = 0 [$]
This is an answer to many questions I reckon. It's a nonlinear pde.
[$]\frac{\partial V}{\partial t} + c(\frac{\partial V}{\partial r})\frac{\partial V}{\partial r} - rV = 0 [$]

Below where you write it says attachments. Upload there. Then you will see something like "insert inline." It's a bit small but it's there.Exactly. I did. They tell a story. BTW how do I get a jpeg from my computer directly into a post?I would urge you to draw the pictures!
Can you do the plots for the sgn problems?
Then maybe we find some exam questions!
Re: About solving a transport equation
To display it in the post, just google "free image hosting" or some such, pick a site, upload, get a link ending in a supported picture format (.jpg, .png, .gif, others?), and insert the link into "Insert an image".BTW how do I get a jpeg from my computer directly into a post?I would urge you to draw the pictures!
Haven't ever tried "insert inline". Maybe do both and see which is better.

I use imgur, it's a pain in the assets. I'll check the small print.

Re: About solving a transport equation
This set of lecture notes by the late Piet Hemker (Amsterdam) discuss some of the issues, especially chapter 6. (one of the note takers, R. Mirani did some Asian FDM coding for me a while back).I don't know much about shocks. But,
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.24.565&rep=rep1&type=pdf
Might be useful.
And ... the challenges using FDM for these pdes.

Re: About solving a transport equation
The pictures are just geometrical representations of plane curves (just like a circle is a point and a radius)?I would urge you to draw the pictures!
The wave diagram in fig 5 is just the hyperbola [$]x^2 - y^2[$] = const

This is what I knocked up last night. BTW why does \sgn not work?For my three simple problems it looks like this:

Paul, please can you write on blank high-quality DIN A4 paper and on one side only! With a black pen, not blue.
